Iowa Organic presentation

Iowa Organic Association education and outreach coordinator Olga Reding spoke to Upper Iowa University faculty, staff and students in Baker-Hebron Hall at Fayette Campus today (April 20). The presentation was a follow-up to the “Growing Organic Expertise Across Iowa” visit to UIU in November 2021. The program, sponsored by a grant from Iowa REAP CEP, has funded events at 10 Iowa colleges to raise awareness of the immense opportunities and benefits of an organic production system.

Weather permitting, the April 20 participants were also scheduled to visit the rural Maynard farm of third generation ag producer Scott Wedemeier.
